Details: Amazon.ca With its imposing cast, which brings together veterans of comedy such as Rémy Girard, Marc Messier, Serge Thériault and director Louis Saïa, Les Boys begin the game on the power play. The Boys are a band of average males who play hockey every week under the direction of Stan (Girard), trainer and owner of a brewery. Brasserie that he risks losing if his guys don't win a decisive match against Méo's team (Pierre Lebeau, excellent), a loan shark to whom Stan owes a large sum. The plot here serves as a pretext to penetrate predominantly male areas, showing The Boys at the tavern, the locker room, the strip bar, on the ice, and so on. To wrap it all up, a rolling fire of jokes and puns like: "When you're a lawyer, you wear the dress and your wife wears the panties". If the script could have been refined more, the film can nevertheless be viewed as a good hockey game: interesting players, including Patrick Huard, hilarious as an unscrupulous real estate agent, a few goals too, like this absurd scene where a lawyer, in a hurry going to play, lets his client receive a major sentence. Les Boys, it may not be a Stanley Cup final but, at the very least, an honest playoff round. --Julie Parent
